Malvinas, papa e futebol

Sylvia Colombo

Antes de mais nada, esclareço. Adoro futebol. Corintiana desde criança. Admiradora histórica do Real Madrid. Fã do Sócrates, do Zico e do Ronaldo. Quando estou em Sampa, adoro ir ao Pacaembu. Além dos estádios da cidade, já vi jogos no Santiago Bernabeu, em Madri, no Maracanã, em Wembley, na Inglaterra, no estádio da Luz, em Portugal, e outros tantos no Monumental de Nuñez e na Bombonera, aqui em Buenos Aires.

Mas, tenho de confessar, na última semana, o futebol, ou melhor, a futebolização das coisas, me cansou um pouco. Primeiro, durante minha estada nas ilhas Malvinas, das quais sou cada vez mais fã, mas que se encontravam em clima de “Fla-Flu” total. Os “kelpers”, eufóricos de nacionalismo, exibiam suas bandeiras britânicas e coloriam-se de azul e vermelho. Apesar de todos saberem que o referendo pelo qual decidiram continuar fazendo parte do Reino Unido foi um passo político na direção de sua independência, a festa se travestia de uma rivalidade meio primitiva e de tom essencialmente futeboleiro. Havia um inimigo claro, a Argentina, suas cores nacionais, o celeste e branco, e, como parte importante desse quadro, seus incríveis jogadores internacionais e títulos mundiais.

E, de repente, chegou o papa argentino. Semanas atrás, eu havia escrito um post para este blog falando da possibilidade de um papa vindo das pampas. Foi uma gozação geral de amigos brasileiros. Já com o tom que depois preponderou: “Como pode, eles têm Maradona, Messi e agora, o papa?”. Como se tais coisas fossem comparáveis. E foi então que a fumaça branca confirmou tal “ironia”. Foi realmente uma pena não estar em Buenos Aires num dos dias mais importantes da história recente da cidade. Mas, por outro lado, foi um alívio estar isolada numa ilha do Atlântico enquanto acompanhava, via mídia e redes sociais, principalmente, brasileiros e argentinos se insultando _sim, porque essas brincadeiras são insultos_ mutuamente. Mais do que nunca, detrás da provocação: “mas quem é melhor, Pelé ou Maradona?”, o que se esconde é um profundo desconhecimento de um país em relação a outro. E um desinteresse proporcional. Passaram alguns dias _certamente terá sido para poucos interessados_ até que o fenômeno Bergoglio passou a ser melhor entendido, contextualizado, e a fazer algum sentido.

No meio desse turbilhão de informações “contra” e “a favor”, “Messi” ou “Pelé”, “Bergoglio” ou “Scherer”, “Inglaterra” ou “Argentina”, esse excesso de dualismos pouco esclarecedores, um artigo veio para colocar mais lenha na fogueira, foi o do britânico-espanhol John Carlin, “El fútbol versus la estupidez”, em que elogia a atuação de Messi contra o Milan, para criticar de forma duríssima o governo argentino em sua posição com relação às Malvinas. O texto é colorido, divertido, provocativo, ao estilo de Carlin, grande jornalista que é. Meus colegas argentinos, porém, o interpretaram do jeito mais literal possível, e a flama da discórdia, outra vez com o futebol como cobertura, se acendeu nos meios portenhos.

O futebol certamente está entre as cinco coisas mais importantes do mundo. Nos alegra, nos entristece e, para muita gente, dá sentido à vida. Tenho amizades em que, se o assunto principal não for o futebol, talvez não façam sentido. Mas, daí a achar que se pode ler tudo o que acontece com essa lente, vai um grande passo. Me parece que Carlin foi infeliz ao apoiar-se nesse recurso para seu artigo de balanço de sua cobertura nas Malvinas.

No caso do Brasil e o papa, a referência ao futebol interpreto como ignorância e certo preconceito. Os brasileiros quase nada sabem desse fascinante e complexo país que têm como vizinho. E parecem continuar não querendo entendê-lo. Poucos se interessarão em saber de onde e como daqui saiu Bergoglio, assim como os Kirchner, Menem, sua arte e sua cultura. A pergunta do milhão, mesmo, é se Messi será melhor do que Pelé.

Que venha a Copa do Mundo!!

  17. We question here is the spot in this, but… I have a problem with all of our existing the laws of copyright, and i also think that the way all of our latest approach to administration utilizes the lobby is the source of it. Our rules will not just as secure everybody, that they merely safeguard often the hobbies of the wealthy handful of. Is there not really a way to alter the way everything is? What exactly portion on the inhabitants can be roughed up before authentic adjust can be pushed to occur? Each of our legal guidelines are actually contorted as well as garbled to profit a new prosperous group. Example: I’m a area inspector. Our grandkids spent some time working to perform surveys for individuals intended for four decades. Looking for generally put money extremely competitively at times losing profits to have work opportunities hoping we would cause the profits by having the actual files so that we would get the work for potential reviews as well as having the ability to do them very easily simply by upgrading what exactly advice all of us previously possessed in document. This exact same system of lawmaking that is shielding the RIAA will be permitting the title business as well as others which are accumulating reports in our reviews for you to spread them how to folks agreeing to affidavits intended for closings using all of our work with their own profit and eliminating us all via making money for our unique sweat work and also perform. Precisely what affects me many relating to this is always that, at some point, you will have a lawsuit with a questionnaire we have ages in the past, that had been employed for the afterwards closing towards all of our may as well as the surfaces can edge towards you for a employment many of us don’t actually receives a commission for. Coming from published lots of people inside authorities looking for assist in some way merely to receive inerte web template replies or no answer in any way. Romans got this better 2000 years back. Good all of us reside in the democracy, nevertheless My partner and i anxiety it’s not a republic. We all political election that will put several grouped Republicans or maybe Democrats with government, merely to possess our legal guidelines prepared and reformed to profit a new loaded group, by means of lobbyists financed through and also that represent some sort of abundant couple of. That exact same govt most of us selected as with regard to sets a low top priority around the purposes of the bulk, inside perception this rich people are not much more prudent as well as far more worthwhile than the the greater part. I’m frightened all of our federal government has become really a good Aristocracy.

  19. I’m impressed, I have to admit. Rarely do I encounter a blog that’s both educative and amusing, and without a doubt, you’ve hit the nail on the head. The issue is something that too few folks are speaking intelligently about. I’m very happy that I came across this in my search for something relating to this.

  23. That feels more like typically the RIAA modifying the particular legal technique to get a speedy profit when compared with all of them in fact planning to cease pirating. It’s like audio is actually often the tempt for their precise profit-making device. I actually more than likely be shocked once they leaked out their own personal tunes on to the net. While he truly should never possess downloaded the music, strangely the actual jury should notice that is the way influenced the particular “victim” is actually along with nominate treatment appropriately. If it’s more effective songs, throw all of them $7 dollars. That would be the law. Certainly not this kind of expensive total.
